From Doubt to Benchmark: 6 × 100T Gantry Cranes Delivered for Prainsa Saudi Arabia
Project Overview
When a top-tier Saudi precast factory—long accustomed to working with Konecranes and Demag—decided to award its core order of six 100 tons gantry cranes to a Chinese manufacturer, everyone held their breath. Yet it ultimately proved to be one of their most strategic and rewarding investment decisions. Choosing AICRANE is not a downgrade — it is a smarter investment that delivers stronger industrial assurance and comprehensive after-sales support at better value.
Product:6 Sets of 100T NMGH Gantry Cranes
Application:For lifting huge precast concrete beams
Installation time:January 3, 2026
Location:Dammam, Saudi Arabia
Project Requirements & Challenges
European equipment came with long lead times and high costs, which threatened expansion plans. For Mr. Bader (Procurement Director) and Mr. Hisham (Maintenance Supervisor), the challenge was clear:
Zero Margin for Error: A 100-ton precast beam leaves no room for failure. Any lifting accident would result in catastrophic losses. Internal skepticism toward Chinese manufacturing added pressure.
Extreme Environmental Conditions: Dammam’s 50°C+ summer heat and heavy dust posed serious durability challenges. Standard configurations would not survive long-term operation.
Personal & Operational Risk: As project advocates, Bader and Hisham carried professional risk. Equipment downtime would directly impact production and their credibility.
They needed more than cranes — they needed a partner who could stand behind the promise.
Our Breakthrough Solution
Engineering Upgraded to FEM Standards
Prainsa’s technical team rigorously reviewed our drawings — from rope safety factors to motor brands and weld quality.
Our chief engineer led detailed optimizations aligned with FEM standards until every concern was resolved.
High-Temperature & Heavy-Duty Adaptation
We enhanced structural stability, electrical protection, and heat resistance to ensure reliable performance in 50°C desert environments.
On-Site Installation & Operational Optimization
Instead of “shipping and leaving,” AICRANE deployed a senior installation team to Dammam. Under extreme heat conditions, we ensured precision alignment to prevent rail deviation and structural stress.
Results & Long-Term Value
When the first 100-ton precast beam was lifted smoothly and operated without vibration or abnormal noise, skepticism turned into confidence. That moment defined the project.
Today, this project stands as proof that choosing AICRANE is not a compromise — it is a smarter industrial investment.
- Plant efficiency improved through optimized synchronized control.
- Procurement and lifecycle costs significantly reduced.
- What began as a cautious trial became a strategic partnership.
